ThankQ provides a facility where Auction Items can be set up and managed. These can be gifts from contacts or items from your own organisation.
If you have a lot of Auction items you may prefer to input them into a spreadsheet and enter the items with their details. When the items are purchased the information about the purchase such as contact, price paid etc can be added to the spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can then be attached to the Event. The spreadsheet can also be used to import the contacts into thankQ. A source code will need to be setup to receive payments into thankQ and the item can be inserted into the Narrative field of the payment form. If you have the serial numbers the information can be imported directly into a batch and if you do not have the serial numbers they can be imported using the Data Tools so thankQ can dedupe the contacts and create a batch for the payments.
